How to Bet on Soccer

Rules for Soccer Betting Online

Full game soccer wagers are official at the completion of a full soccer game (90 minutes of play, plus referee stoppage time or injury time), unless otherwise specified on the sports sheets or odds display. For the purposes of a soccer wager, the results of any extra time period(s) of play are not used to calculate winning or losing wagers, unless otherwise specified on the sports sheets or odds display. Only the main 90 minute period is considered for soccer wagers.

Soccer Betting Lines

Soccer events can be a 3 way (Team A, Team B, and Draw) or 2 way (Team A or Team B). When wagering on the 3-way moneyline there are three options. Your selected option must be correct for your wager to be a winner. For example, if you selected Team B and the event ends in a Draw, your selection on Team B loses.

In the above 3-way price example, Manchester United is -125 (wager $125 to win $100), Chelsea is +310 (wager $100 to win $310) and the draw is +250 (wager $100 to win $250). Your selection must be correct for you to win your wager.

When wagering on soccer using goals as the pointspread, your bet must “cover the spread.” On this wager, if you wager on the favored team, you are betting that the favorite is going to win by more goals than the pointspread. Conversely, if you bet the underdog, you are betting that the team will lose by less than the point spread or win the game outright.

In the 2-way price in the above example, Manchester United is -1/2 and -115. You wager $115 to win $100 and Manchester United must win by one or more goals. If your wager is on Chelsea, you wager $105 to win $100 and your team must tie or win the match.

The total (over/under wager) in this example is 2 ½ goals. You may wager that the score after full time is more than or less than the total. This total is the score of both teams added together. This is an independent wager. It makes no difference which team wins or if the game ends in a draw. You can wager over 2 ½ (wagering $100 to win $100) or under 2 ½ (wagering $120 to win $100).
